Does nobody recognize good stuff?, 22 February 1999
Author: anonymous from severn, MD

Does nobody at all recognize good movies when they see them? Funny Farm really is a good movie with the acting, the story, everything. It's a classic from beginning to end and if anyone's opinion differs, that's their problem.
